Review – The Smooth Operat(ting System) of Her
| 17. January, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Don’t Ask Siri…

This week, Katey and David call Patches in Utah to tell him they’ve fallen in love with their operating systems and have various opinions about how good or bad that is for them. Do Joaquin Phoenix and Spike Jonze have something convincing and touching to say about technology and relationships or does David just want to squash this film like a bug?

006 – And The 2014 Academy Award Nominees Are…Discussed
| 17. January, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

Which of your favorites are discussed and which are dubbed disgusting? This episode is more fun than being kidnapped by savages and being abandoned by all but God.

This week, it’s a very special late episode so we could all process yesterday’s 2014 Oscar Nominations. Matt Patches is in Utah for Sundance and Da7e has been left behind in the cold city to see the screenings no one else wanted to cover. The often intrepid Katey and David draft the ever intrepid Chris Rosen from the Huffington Post to discuss this year’s nominees in a delicious single segment episode of unexpected nominees, glaring oversights and – for the purposes of SEO – SNUBS SNUBS SNUBS.

Take a listen, embed and/or download below; for more from all of us on Twitter: follow the show (@FITWR),  David (@davidehrlich or @CriterionCorner),  and Katey (@kateyrich).

Review – Pill-Poppin’ ‘nd Truth-Tellin’ With August Osage County
| 10. January, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Though this movie and this episode are family affairs, this podcast has no A-List casting. But – Bonus! – also no mouth cancer.

If you thought Fighting in the War room was a raucous maelstrom of razor-sharp opinions, wait until you meet the family from August: Osage County. At least, that’s what the filmmakers and performers behind August: Osage County would like you to think (we might still be the crazier bunch).
This week, Katey, Patches, and David assemble around the  dinner table to throw down over the adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Can it be enjoyed as an expensive game of dress-up or do we have to care about these characters at some point? Will Katey eat her fucking fish? Find out as we review August: Osage County.

005 – It’s A Bird? It’s A Plane? It’s DEFINITELY Riffing On Goodfellas

Superman, Making Your Own Short Film and Comparing Movies That Are Linked Thematically or by Release Date.

This week, Da7e, David, Patches and Katey are back with the first FITWR of 2014. Da7e and Patches both read Glen Weldon’s Superman: The Unauthorized Biography and learned a ton of facts about The Man of Steel (though not the movie, Man of Steel). But what’s the book’s greater purpose and would you enjoy it? Our FAVORITE listener voicemail EVER finds us giving advice on making a short film, then spend a justifiably long (and spoiler light, if not spoiler free) time discussing the validity of comparing American Hustle and Wolf of Wall Street so closely.
